The <a href="http://camel.apache.org/direct-vm.html">Direct VM Component</a> which synchronously invokes
the consumer when a producer sends an exchange to the endpoint. This also known as <i>strait through processing</i>.
<p/>
This component supports messaging within the current JVM; so across CamelContext instances.
Note that this communication can only take place between ClassLoaders which share the same camel-core.jar.
So to communicate across web applications you need to put camel-core.jar on the system/boot classpath.
